EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image transports us back in time to Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire, England, where Charles Dickens once visited during the late 19th century. The renowned Victorian novelist and author, Dickens, is depicted in the foreground, dressed in a top hat and overcoat, gazing in awe at the magnificent Fountains Court. The intricately detailed ruins of the Cistercian monastery, founded in 1132, serve as a striking backdrop to this moment in Dickens' life. Dickens' fascination with history and the past is well documented, and his travels throughout England provided inspiration for many of his works. This photograph, taken circa 1890s, captures a brief yet poignant moment in Dickens' life, as he stands in the presence of history, lost in thought. The lantern slide, part of Box 330 in the Charles Dickens (Life and Works) collection, offers a unique glimpse into the personal experiences of one of literature's most beloved figures. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy of Charles Dickens and the profound impact his works continue to have on readers around the world.
